Figuring Out Friendships with Nina Parker

Dylan is out of town and this week I’m hanging out with my friends…. and this week’s episode is coincidentally all about friendships. If you’re in your twenties, or thirties (or have ever been in your twenties or thirties), chances are you’ve dealt with friendship drama. Friendship breakups, toxic friendships, trying to maintain long-distance friendships — the friendship topic is one everyone’s hungry to talk about. It can feel so lonely when a friendship you’ve had since you were 3 no longer feels fun or healthy, or when you come to terms with the reality that most of your friends move away, get into relationships, or become busy with work and can no longer answer your 911 call as quickly.  This week we have Host of Nightly Pop on E! Nina Parker on the show and we got into the good stuff.  As I said we talked A LOT about our friendships and how to navigate the aforementioned shittiness. We talked about moving to a new city and feeling lonely, the deliciousness of canceling plans, and how to know if your job is the root of your unhappiness.  Aside from her work as a co-host on E!, Nina created the first Black- woman-owned brand to design a plus-size line exclusively for Macy's, The Nina Parker Collection. Parker has made numerous television appearances as a pop culture expert on popular shows like Wendy Williams and The Talk, and as an occasional host for Access Live on NBC.  To continue the conversation and for more about the podcast and my life, you can find me: https://www.instagram.com/jadeiovine/  Executive Producer Nick Stumpf Produced by Catherine Law Edited and Engineered by Brandon Dickert Hosted on Acast.
